Lately, Oakland-based artist Marbie has been thinking about love. More specifically, she’s been thinking about the emotional pits and peaks of being vulnerable with someone new. Drawing inspiration from these IRL romances, Marbie’s visual work “bridges the gap between a life in the public eye and one behind closed doors, depicting intimate scenes of solitude or unity.” On the occasion of her second solo presentation with Hashimoto Contemporary San Francisco, Marbie discusses the origins of her artistic practice and style, and new horizons in her life.
